Hi Guys
Pretty new to list, so apols if this one has come up before.
Seem to be having problems accessing my domain group policy from either of
my W2k SP2 servers.
Found Article ID: Q257435 on technet (below), and although this exactly
describes my problem, unfortunately, the suggestion is no good for me, as
file & printer sharing is configured. I have removed it and re-installed it
on both boxes also, just in case, but still no joy.
Anyone come across this before ??
